💡 Memory Tip
Think of 'include' as 'in + clued in' — when you include someone, you clue them in and bring them inside the circle. The 'clud' part comes from Latin 'claudere' (to close/shut in), so including means shutting something inside.
Imagine a large circle drawn on paper. Every time you 'include' something, you draw an arrow pointing inward, placing that item inside the circle, making it part of the group.
